The Principality of Sealand is an independent nation. It lies seven miles off the coast of England, east of the port of Felixstowe.

It started life as a military installation in the North Sea, operated by Britain's Royal Navy, and termed "HM Fort Roughs". In 1967, Major 'Paddy' Roy Bates moved onto the abandoned installation and declared its independence as the Principality of Sealand, himself becoming Prince Roy of Sealand.

In 1968, a British court ruled that Sealand was not part of the UK - Britain had no jurisdiction there.

A team of German and Dutch mercenaries stormed Sealand in 1978, but Prince Roy was able to retake the fort.

Prince Roy passed away in 2012, having previously designated his son Michael as his successor. He became Prince Michael of Sealand on 9 November 2012.

Sealand has recently formed a national football team which competes at international level (the highlight being two 2-1 wins over Alderney), and hosts a fledgling data haven company called HavenCo.
A lot of people got to know Sealand through Hetalia, but it's a fascinating nation even without the Hetalia connection.

Don't expect to see Sealand in the World Cup any time soon - their national football team's not allowed in FIFA.

Sealandball 

(This definition is not about a word you can use in everyday use. A Sealandball is a character a user may adopt to be as, and is only that.)

A Sealandball is a countryball whose identity is the independent micronation of Sealand.

A Sealandball mustn't be confused with the countryball of Trinidad and Tobago, whose flags are similar, but are entirely different entities. Sealand's flag follows as Red, White, Black (left to right); Trinidad's follows Red, White, Black, White, Red.

A Sealandball wouldn't go into the classification of countryball, as it is a micronationball, or be differentiated to become a userball. But for the sake of simplification, it is a "countryball" - a political entity represented by a ball with two eyes.

To use, have, or be a Sealandball means you are well-versed enough in geopolitics to know about it, and for that, I applaud you.
"Which countryball will you represent?"
"I will represent Sealandball!"
"Oh, obscure!"

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
